Chapter 122 Resisting Arrest
Five police cars were clearing the path for a military truck behind them.
Armed soldiers appeared in sight, their expressions grim and terrifying.
The Special Forces are here!
The alarming sight caused the guests to gasp in shock.
“Oh, they are here!” the middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly when he saw the police cars and military truck. His legs were no longer wobbly as he climbed to his feet and dashed for the police cars.
“Stop!”
As the middle-aged man blocked the path of the police car, an elderly man clad in the police uniform alighted from the car. “What is going on, Jack?”
He was unclear about the situation, as the deputy police chief, Jack Tucker, seemed urgent on the phone.
“Chief Barnstone, there is a terrorist here. Please shoot him right now!” Jack pleaded. Upon hearing his request, his superior, Rhett Barnstone, furrowed his brows. “A dangerous man? Where is he?”
“It’s him!” Jack pointed at Jonathan without hesitation as a faint gleam of malice shone in his eyes.
At once, Rhett’s expression darkened as an ominous black thundercloud of temper settled over him. “Jack, is this the dangerous man you’ve been talking about?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Seeing that Rhett was scowling, Jack promptly explained, “Chief Barnstone, he may be alone, but he’s really lethal. The Police Tactical Unit is no match for him. He’s also a great marksman! Earlier, he fired shots at me. If I hadn’t reacted swiftly, he would’ve killed me!”
What a shameless man! That was the crowd’s first reaction. How dare you claim to have reacted swiftly? It was Jonathan who spared your life. Otherwise, no matter how swift you are, you won’t be alive now.
“He’s armed?” Rhett’s already dark expression somehow turned even darker at Jack’s words.
“Yes,” Jack reported respectfully with his head bowed. “He took it from a Police Tactical Unit officer!”
“You’re useless!” Rhett glared at Jack, covering the latter in his frosty judgment.
He then turned to a man clad in military uniform behind him and said, “Captain Sharpe, this man is armed and deadly. Please inform your team members to be careful!”
“Got it!” Duncan Sharpe gave a curt nod. He waved and ordered authoritatively, “Everyone, ready your weapons!”
“Yes, Sir!” his men answered in unison.
Following his order, the members of the Special Forces loaded their rifles in a swift manner.
Shortly after, Jonathan became the target of countless rifles.
“J-Jonathan, what should we do?” Tanya’s voice was quavering at the horrifying sight of countless rifles aimed at them. Even her hands were shivering. Uneasiness clouded her mind at the thought of their impending doom.
“Don’t be scared. They won’t dare to shoot us!” Jonathan assured her, his tone gentle.
He got to his feet and strode over to Rhett and the soldiers. After seeing his action, the Special Forces members promptly put their fingers on the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment.
If the situation wasn’t in their favor, they’d definitely start firing shots at Jonathan.
“You’re Chief Barnstone?” Jonathan queried as he glanced at Rhett.
